Edgar Allan Poe lived at 203 North Amity Street with his aunt, grandmother, and two cousins from 1833 to 1835. It was here that he wrote his first horror story, “Berenice.” They are also the home of the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards every October. 2024 will be their 7th festival year, as well as the 75th anniversary of the founding of the museum.
They are open every week for tours, 12 months of the year, Wednesday through Sunday from April through October, Thursday through Sunday from November to March. Due to the size, ticket requests via their website are encouraged, as tours sell out quickly. Walk-ups are only permitted if there is space. Tours begin at the top of every hour from 11AM to 4PM.
